Not too be too glib but this reminds me of one of my pet truisms:

"If things were different, then things would be different."

Japan is way more insular than the US [1]. You can theorize about what might happen if we didn't have net immigration but it's largely irrelevant because we do.

It isn't irrelevant because it's a constant battle and has been significantly curtailed under the current administration.
